After speaking with her dads girlfriend I found out she has bee caught smoking weed and cigarettes. They did not feel the need to inform me. My daughter has gone from 4 A's and 4 B's to 3 F's and a D. I don't seem to be able to get through to her. i am losing my child to the dark side of her dads family. I cannot pick up and move so suggestions please. i have place her on lock down at the house, babysitters included. That is not enough. How do I deal with it to prevent further problems?
I know things have not been great, her brother moved to CA to live with his dad. I have cut back hours to spend more time with my daughter. Her dad does drugs openly, she sees it when she visits. I have called child protective services, and he even failed the drug test. But they closed the case with no further action. i have spoken to her dad numerous times about how he is with her. i try talking to her all the time. I do not know what to do. i am losing my daughter. All she does is yell, cry, and not listen. Says it all my fault. we have had trying times. i divorced because of spousal abuse. My poor girl has run the gamut with me. living in battered woman's shelter for 3 months, moving across the US to escape, but it keeps rearing its ugly head. i feel like a failure.
